London Dear Friends, It gives me great pleasure to write thanking you for the lovely gift T'. received in the form of my Gift Bag. I am sure it must have taken up a lot of your tune to think Of all the things a Sailor at Sea would re- spire, and I am sure you have not forgotten anything either. Tt is nice to receive such gifts as these to feel the friendship formed between the menof the fighting forces and : the people at home. We wish and I can sure your do also that the war was at an end and we could live our lives in peace once more, This fighting ship E.M.S._ Goodsoll. built in Boston and manned by Scotch and English Sailors will I am sure" help greatly in this task. I .am my- self Scotch, I come from the Mid- lands of Scotland. Wher€ the Steel- works and 'munitions of war are made, Although I like America and the people that live in it, I would rather be in Britain with all the Bombing and the Scars of War. I am sure the American Lads in Britain feel the same towards America and their native country. I shall close now thanking the Pupils of Varna School once more for their Lovely Gift. . • Yours truly, Daniel Reid GODERICH TOWNSIIP Gnr. J. W. 'beeves, A28496, Feb. 25 1944 Dear Mr. and. Mrs. Middleton' and Family; Well, I received your airmail a long time ago and I am sorry not to have got it answered sooner, butwe have been doing a lot of moving, as you will likely have been told by Mother. I was in Sicily when I got your letter and at- last we have got up to the front lines with the Eighth Army. I haven't seen Melvin Steep since we got in Italy but I saw sense of their unit just before we moved up from the camp we were in be- hind the lines. I hear you had a social evening at your place. I will we glad to get back to take part in them, but it isn't bad here.: I had yesterday off and went back to a show in a town backof the lines. I got your tobacco O.K. thanks. Cheerio, John, Tpr, J. H. Mollveen A5748$, England Feb. 29 1944 Dear Madam; I received your most welcome letter the other day and I was very ,leased to hear from you again. The weather over here has been rather miserable the Last while and every- one is cold and stiff with the damp- ness. I was down for a neboard last week and they lowered my category, so I guess this country is getting the better of hie. My arta has been bothering me, lately but 1 son sure it will be okay alter this Is all over and I get back to good' old Canada again. I haven't seen any of the boys from house yet but I guess that is to be expected_ as we are in a rather out of the way place. As a rule I have to work 7 days a week as it. seems as though a fitter is never done in the army. ' I am pleased to hear Ted is getting along fine but I guess he will he like an Eskimo by now, as it must becold and bleak in Labrador. We all hope and pray that this old war will soon be over and we may all be reunited. I am sorryi cannot suggest any- thing to send in the parcels as we don't know just what you can get at home and all the boys over here are very thankful for everything they receive, even though they may be poor at sending our thanks as it isn't always possible to write. Yours sincerely, Jack. S.UIVIMERHILL• We join in wishing Clark every: success in the months to come, and I'm sure we all wish the war would soon be over so,all, the boys will be home to enjoy civilian life again.
